CNTP 466 - ISSUES IN CONTEMPORARY THEATER

This seminar is designed to give students an understanding of the role theater plays as a means to illuminate the problems that face modern society. Some of the issues to be covered are the AIDS crisis, issues of race and gender. An historical and cultural analysis of each issue will form the basis for discussions of plays such as Angels in America, Seven Guitars, Vinegar Tom, and Rent. Students will be required to write a major research paper, make two oral presentations to the class on assigned readings, and attend at least one professional theater production.
